- The departure of Kieran Trippier to Newcastle is a matter of days, and at Atlético de Madrid they are looking for a replacement
- Azpilicueta is the one that best fits the wishes of Cholo Simeone
- While Barcelona already spoke with the player to sign for Barça from June
Kieran Trippier could be living his last hours at Atlético de Madrid . After the match against Rayo Vallecano , the player had gestures that suggested a farewell. While in England they see him wearing the Newcastle shirt in the next few hours.
An exit that surely will not take place because Atlético de Madrid wants to have their replacement tied up first. Diego Pablo Simeone has slipped into the sports management that must be a right-back who can also play central. And Azpilicueta is the ideal footballer for that position. In addition, the Chelsea captain ends his contract in June and would be interested in returning to Spain .
A request from Cholo that few footballers fit in with a certain level to play for Atlético de Madrid and who are also on the market. That is why it is expected that from the rojiblanca house they will do everything possible to sign the Navarrese footballer. Of course, it will not be easy because he is currently the captain of Chelsea , and would have to leave the club in the middle of the season.
The great threat
In the case of closing their contract, they would leave Barcelona without a luxury reinforcement for next season. From the Catalan team they would have already spoken with the player to get him to join this summer. Something that you are deciding at this time and that you will announce your decision in the next few dates. On the table Azpilicueta’s main options are the offers of Atlético , Barça and Chelsea . In the next few days he will resolve his future.
Other options
Just in case at Atlético de Madrid they continue to track the market and players like Nelson Semedo or Pedro Porro are also on the mattress agenda, despite the fact that they do not fulfill Simeone’s wishes .
